Let’s take a look the dhak dhak girl’s style statements

Madhuri Dixit-Nene turned 47 today. This evergreen beauty may not look her age (in a good way, of course), courtesy her style. But sometimes she does go overboard while trying to make a style statement. Anyways, on her birthday, let’s take a look at her appearances, good and bad.

The Gulaab Gang actor has made several appearances at events due to two releases this year. Be it traditional or western, Mads can carry off most looks with utmost grace.

Recently, at IIFA Awards 2014, Madhuri walked down the green carpet in a Jatin Varma gown. While the gown wasn’t flattering her curves, she still pulled off the look. And while she looks lovely in gowns, she hasn’t shied away from stepping out in saree gowns, one of the ongoing trends in B-town. At IIFA, Madhuri was seen in a Sonaakshi Raaj gown. Well, saree gowns look better on the runway than in real. That’s all we wanna say today. Madhuri was spotted in a piano sheath dress by Pankaj and Nidhi at IIFA press meet. At a party hosted by a popular TV channel, Madhuri Dixit posed for the shutter bugs in a Pankaj and Nidhi churidar suit. The dhak dhak girl looked like an absolute delight in the BollywoodLife inspired pink suit. At an awards function, Madhuri was seen in a Sabyasachi lehenga. You tell us, who doesn’t look stunning in a Sabyasachi outfit?

Madhuri hasn’t limited herself to gowns, sarees and dresses, but she has even sported skirts and denims. During the promotions of Gulaab Gang, she was seen in a Zara skirt on one show and in denims on another. Well, the straight-fit denims looked a bit weird but as Madhuri flashed her pearlies, our hearts melted, and how!

Well, Madhuri Dixit-Nene is quite versatile with her style. She likes experimenting with new trends even if the appearances turn out to be disastrous sometimes. And no matter what the fashion police have to say, Mads still doesn’t mind wearing what she likes. She isn’t one of those actors who sticks to conventional black but has donned every possible hue, dull and bright, and with poise. As she grows a year older and wiser, we hope she continues to give us stunning appearances… What say, peeps?

The veteran actor celebrated her birthday in the company of her old and dear friends. And here’s a dekho at all those who partied with her to their heart’s content

Asha Parekh turned 70 years old on October 2, 2012. And while there were some murmurs about her D-day facing Gandhian troubles – October 2 is a dry day due to Gandhi Jayanti – Ashaji decided to shift the bash by one day so as to steer away from alcohol abstinence issue. So eventually the Big day was celebrated on October 1 at Sun ‘n’ Sand hotel, Mumbai.

One of India’s most beautiful women and Bollywood’s shining star, Madhuri Dixit-Nene turns 45 today. As she celebrates her birthday in the US with her family, we walk down memory lane

Born on May 15, 1967, Madhuri Dixit Nene entered the film industry at the age of 17 and became the nation’s heartthrob in the years to come. The actor, who had moved to USA after she wed Dr Sriram Nene, returned to India in October last year, much to the delight of her fans.

The audience is now waiting with bated breath to see her make a comeback to the big screen. With two interesting films – Vishal Bhardwaj’s Dedh Ishqiya and Gulab Gang – in her kitty, it should be an exciting phase for the actor. Madhuri worked for 23 years before taking a break and she has been one of the most versatile actors of her time, dabbling in almost all genres. We take a look at some of her most memorable comic, tragic, romantic and dramatic roles.

Comedy

One of Madhuri Dixit’s favourite costars, Anil Kapoor still vouches for Madhuri’s comic timing (apart from Sridevi and Juhi Chawla, of course). The girl with the golden smile made her audience laugh on several occasions. Her best comic act was in films like Beta, Raja and Khel where she easily overshadowed her heroes!

Tragedy

Madhuri’s portrayal of Chandramukhi in the 2002 film Devdas won her several awards. She pulled off the character of a prostitute in love with someone who is pining for another woman, with sheer grace and beauty.

Drama

Madhuri was very strong when it came to portraying angst and anger. She is known to light up the screen with her nuanced expressions. She played several strong characters during her career including the rebellious village woman in Mrityudand and a wounded wife who avenges her husband’s death by killing an obsessive lover (played by Shahrukh Khan) in Anjaam. Her portrayal of Janki in Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lajja also brought her many accolades.

Romance

Madhuri’s first big romantic film with a dramatic plot, Tezaab with Anil Kapoor, was the one that brought her into limelight. Over time she went to do several romantic movies, but her character always remained a strong one. Madhuri was the perfect romantic heroine in films like Dil, Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Dil To PagalHai.

Grey shades

Madhuri got the chance to play a grey character only once. In Pukar, when she played a lover who could go to any lengths to get her man. We hope that we get to see a lot more of those grey shades in her forthcoming movies like Dedh Ishqiya and Gulab Gang.
